Witthuser & Westrupp – Trips & Traume
While it seems every piece of crap is is being called “psych/folk”, this truly is psychedelic folk music. This German folk duo who recorded a few lp’s on the German OHR label started out playing normal European folk music, until, from what I’ve read, were given a psych makeover by Kolf-Ulrich Kaiser. What really makes this record stand out though is that there is nothing gimmicky about the sound. It is still very much folk music with a very heavy organic dose of trippy-ness thrown in. And the production & arrangements are just totally beautiful.

Sure is and I love it. There is a 3 CD set of the almost complete works of these two psychsters.
This is a record that changed my life forever. I love they’re records. The best all the way.
one of the best krautrock albums. Der Jesus Pilz also rocks in a folky way
